Chapter 165: Tournament of Geniuses- Space Battle Part 10

'My Space Gene enables me to emit particular energy capable of reading the coordination of my surroundings. The greater my power, the greater the distance I can traverse. However, suppressing the Inherited Will requires far too much stamina.'

'As long as I can figure out how to do this on my own, I'll be able to teleport using less than one-third of the stamina of the gene ability. With my understanding of Void Law, I have essentially fused with Space. That implies I don't have to expend any energy to read coordination. All I need is to feel it.'

'But I can't feel it unless I concentrate. It is impossible to focus solely on one part of the conflict. I need to check that method if I want to sense spatial coordination. It's something I am competent of. I have the ability to emit lightning from my body.'

'Normally, lightning bolts can be smaller and faster.  Even though it would not be as rapid as teleportation by gene ability because lightning takes some time to precisely pinpoint various spatial coordination, it would still be fast enough.'

'In other words, using my lightning ability, I can create a lightning mark in space and teleport to that exact mark. Unlike fire, lightning can travel quickly and send me its precise location via my synchronization with it.'

'All I have to do now is distribute the lightning mark and teleport wherever I want. When I tried, this was the last thing that came to mind. I never got the chance to test it. So, while I'm fighting, my brain really functions at its best. But what should I call it?'

Lightning Transfer!  No way, it's too lame. God of Lightning Transfer! I didn't add anything but a deity, did I? God of Flying Lightning! That's really cool. Or even Lightning God Sprint.'

................

Or even Lightning God Sprint.' Why am I attempting to give it such names? I'd just call it 'Snap.'

'All right, two minutes have passed, haven't they?' He finally opens his eyes after some thought about his new skill.

"Are you done yet?" Sword Demon spoke while grasping his sword's hilt. Surprisingly, he only keeps one sword around his waist and keeps the other inside his dimensional ring.

"You bet I am." Mike raises his hand and smiles cheekily inside his suit. Thousands of lightning bolts the size of a thread disperse throughout the space. Sword Demon noticed it as well, but couldn't detect any offense.

"Snap!"

He disappears with a snap of his finger. He emerges above him even before Sword Demon notices it. The lightning encircles his arms and forms a spinning serpent. The brute force imbued with his hands travels to the serpent and infused with it.

While only a few inches away from the Sword Demon, the serpent develops into a dragon.

Clank! Whoosh! Zzzz! Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Splash!

The sword emerges from the sheath as the serpent turns into the dragon. His sword glides faster than Mike's eyes can capture, coiled with sword intent. Despite this, he was able to capture the sword strike as it was completed.

There were a total of 81 slashes. One slash on the dragon's body and eighty slashes on him. He couldn't flee even with the teleportation because he couldn't see the attack.

He snaps his finger and teleports many meters away after being slashed. But then he flicks his finger again and appears behind Sword Demon, holding dozens of blue balls.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

When those balls fell down, he unleashed a bolt of lightning that engulfed them all and snapped his finger. When the lightning struck the balls, they exploded, causing a huge explosion without any flames.

The lightning, on the other hand, completed its job and erupted around Sword Demon. Sword Demon's eyes immediately went red. He emitted a strong surge of energy. He raised two swords in his hand and yanked them down with incredible force.

His action unleashed a massive force from his blade, severing the lightning into three pieces. However, it was only at the front that he was able to flee.

He realizes that he couldn't evade any of the lightning bolts generated by the explosion when he departs from one of the pathways created by his sword slice. Even while they didn't envelop him as a flame would, their speed made him more difficult to avoid.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Several thousands of lightning bolts slammed him hard on his back, but he managed to avoid the explosion. After a few more seconds, he noticed Mike reappearing above him. Mike drew another dragon from his fist this time.

Although Sword Demon was taken aback at first, when a drop of blood touched his suit faster than the dragon, he quickly realized Mike's predicament. But he was unconcerned.

Because pitying Mike would be an affront to both of them. As he whirled around, his fiery eyes locked on the lightning dragon. He spotted dozens of targets for the dragon with a single glance. One was literally lightning, while the other was lightning fast.

Clank! Clank! Clank! Bang! Bang! Bang!

His swords moved like an ice dancer's foot. It was in a precise location, but the pace was imperceptible to the human eye. Though Mike had already noticed this as he merged with the Space.

Mike swiftly teleports a few meters behind Sword Demon when he sees the end strike of his sword. He tightened his fist, and brute force erupted from it. In an instant, he punches the space with his fist, creating a massive wave of gravity.

"Meteor Shower!"

Dozens of meteors, some little, some large, swooped down on Sword Demon in an instant. When he saw these meteors, his eyes shrunk. This was a serious threat, but he suddenly understood something. When he turned around, he noticed his spaceship.

"Damn!" In an instant, he understood he had gotten in front of his spaceship, and realized this expertise was not a coincidence. Of course, he was unaware of the truth.

Mike had no idea what he was doing, therefore it was just coincidental for him.

However, he used this ability since the Sword Demon was in front of his spaceship. Hundreds of meteors swooped down on the Sword Demon in a heartbeat. Even if the speed was sluggish, Sword Demon was still in a dangerous predicament.

He will lose a point if it collides with his spaceship.

"Ette! Turn the spaceship around! Let us flee!" Sword Demon had never expected to say these things in his life. Even he would struggle to deal with these meteorites, let alone his teammates, on whom he rarely depends.

He normally works alone and prefers it that way. Because he feels no one can match him. He looked at Mike before entering the spaceship.

Mike suddenly sensed a restraint around him, despite his want to move. Sword Demon returns the sword to its sheath and releases the crimson energy in his hand. The red energy swirled about his body before ascending above.

When it reaches him, it slowly transforms into a massive sword. The crimson sword unleashed a ferocious Slaughter Will. The massive sword towered above him like a protector.

"Invincible Sword Technique- One Sword Breaks Nine Heavens"

'Damn you! My lightning bolts have been annihilated. I'm not able to teleport. Even genes are no longer functioning in this mode. I have an excessive amount of blood. Even if I turn off my Zombie Mode to activate gene ability, stamina will not suffice.'

'I have no choice! Damn! Then I'll confront it head-on.' It was possibly the dumbest mistake he'd ever made. When he saw the massive sword cutting down, he realized the slash was larger than ten meteors combined. He can barely escape despite his lightning talent.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Hundreds of meteors were destroyed, while dozens more remained. The slash, however, was not directed at those meteors. It was intended directly at him. As a result, he had no opportunity to flee.

His fists were filled with the blue brute essence. He had no choice but to play offensive because he had not a single defensive skill. At this point, he unleashes his two spirits and coats his fist even more tightly. He also activates Kong's Body at the same moment.

Even though he knew it would be useless against such an acute blow, the golden energy bolstered his protection. Around him, the Gravity Domain and the Lightning Domain were activated.

He clenches his fists and stares up at the sword above him. He moves towards the sword, pressing his foot into the lightning.

He clenches his hand and infuses the blue force essence to its utmost. When the sword is a few inches above him, he hits the sword with his fist. The fist collides with the edge of the sword, unleashing a powerful force.

"Tyrant King of Lightning- Lightning Shatters the Stars"

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The lightning bolt ejected from his fist. It disperses and strikes against the sword. Each of his strikes results in a devastating blow comparable to his brute force. The sword slowly crumbles into pieces, but the sword's intent simply grows more furious.

Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash!

The weapon's sword intent changes into little swords that slash his skin through the suit. Until the massive sword appeared in front of his eyes. It was a complete sword but made out of the sword intent. The lightning had passed, but his forearms were still in a defensive position.

Splash!
